I totally agree as well with using a chronograph, ive developed hundreds of pistol and rifle loads, and my initial testing is always with a chrono, it helps give me an idea of where I am according to all my manuals and online data. Thanks for all the responses, i think what I conclude from this, is in the end, I am ultimately responsible for the round I develop, by keeping good records, using a chrono, starting low and carefully working up. I have had a few hard bolt lifts and ejector marks on my brass, when I see those, I stop and take them home and disassemble them and record the results. It appears I need to do a little more work studying load data before jumping into it, because I don't like finding out after Ive already loaded and shot some test rounds, that somebody else's data says I'm over by 3 or 4 grains.
